They just met by chance today and she hadn't even asked each other's names. If she approached him rashly, people would misunderstand that she had ulterior motives.

Forget it. I’ve been traveling all day. Now I just want to wash up and lie down to sleep. I’ll deal with everything else tomorrow.

Lin Yunchu lay down on the bed and soon fell into a deep sleep.

When they got up the next day to continue their journey, they found that the brother and sister who had been there yesterday were gone. Lin Yunchu didn't take it to heart, shrugged his shoulders, got on the carriage and continued on his way.

They have been out for more than half a month. Calculating the time, they should be not far from Kyoto. Not knowing what Kyoto is like, Lin Yunchu felt a little more expectant.

"Little sister, Uncle Li said we can reach Kyoto in two days."

Lin Changshun was a little exhausted from the Zhouchedao and stopped along the way, and his face turned pale. However, when he heard Uncle Li say that they would arrive in Kyoto in two days.

I suddenly became excited because we were finally arriving in Kyoto.

"I wonder if Yanzhou will be frightened when he sees us."

Lin Changshun looked in the direction of Kyoto and muttered to himself.

Before they left, they sent a letter to Lu Yanzhou in Kyoto. He should have arrived before them by now. He remembered what his eldest brother had said.

The mail was sent faster than their carriage, and the letter to Kyoto was sent two days before they set out.

Listening to Lin Changshun's words, Lin Yunchu followed his gaze and looked towards Kyoto, pursing his lips and not knowing what he was thinking.

At this time, Lu Yanzhou, who was in Kyoto, had received a letter from Taihe Town a few days ago.

When he learned that Lin Yunchu and Lin Changshun were coming to Kyoto to see him, his joy was self-evident.

He has never been back since he set out for Beijing to take the imperial examination. It has been almost half a year since he last saw anyone from Qingxi Village.

Now that he knew that the Lin family was coming to Kyoto to see him, how could he not be excited? And when he thought about meeting Lin Yunchu soon, he was even more delighted.

Two days ago, he had already cleaned up the room they lived in and bought some daily necessities.

He stood in the room chosen for Lin Yun's preliminary selection, and when he opened the door, he saw the small garden facing him. He had been taking care of it earlier, and it was now full of flowers.

Seeing a yard like this every day, Lin Yunchu thought he would like it.

Thinking about how Lin Yunchu often tended to the flowers and plants in the yard when she was at the Lin family, Lu Yanzhou thought that she would like it here too.

He looked up and calculated the date of their departure written on the letter. He thought they should arrive in Kyoto in a day or two.

Whenever Lu Yanzhou had some free time these past two days, he would run to the city gate, fearing that he would miss the carriage that brought the two people.

As the sun rose and set, Lu Yanzhou finished his work and rushed to the city gate as he had done the previous two days.

It was already past noon in Kyoto at this time. The spacious bluestone streets were lined with shops that were open for business, and there were also vendors setting up small stalls on both sides of the road.

There were horse-drawn carriages coming and going on the streets from time to time. Lu Yanzhou walked towards the city gate, and from time to time he heard various hawking sounds and the sounds of bargaining with vendors.

Walking through the most prosperous east part of the city, there were fewer and fewer stalls on both sides of the road, and soon they arrived at the city gate. Lu Yanzhou stood on tiptoe and looked at every carriage entering the city.

The corners of his mouth, which were originally smiling, drooped immediately when he saw that the people in the passing carriage were not members of the Lin family.

At this time, not far from the city gate, Lin Changshun, who was sitting in a carriage, looked in the direction pointed by Uncle Li and saw the city gate to Kyoto from afar.

Suddenly, a look of joy appeared on his face. It was indeed Kyoto. The city gate was so tall and majestic, it looked different.

"Little sister, little sister, we have arrived in Kyoto. Look, the city gate is just ahead."

Lin Changshun suddenly became excited, raised his hand and pointed at the city gate, and screamed at Lin Yunchu in the carriage.

Lin Yunchu, who was sitting in the carriage with a bored look on his face, opened his eyes immediately when he heard Lin Changshun's voice.

We have finally arrived in Kyoto!

Lin Yunchu raised his hand and opened the curtain. Looking at the city gate getting closer and closer in the distance, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slowly.

The bumpy journey was finally coming to an end, and she would be able to have a good rest once she arrived in Kyoto. She was still thinking about whether to go find Lu Yanzhou first or to find an inn with Lin Changshun to settle down first.

In the letter Lu Yanzhou had sent to the Lin family before, he had written down the address of the house where he currently lived. However, having just arrived in Kyoto, Lin Yunchu had not decided whether to find someone or get familiar with Kyoto first.

Just as Lin Yunchu was lost in thought, their carriage had already entered the city gate, and Lin Changshun's voice rang out again.

"It's Yanzhou, it's really Yanzhou, Yanzhou is here to pick up our little sister."

As soon as they entered the city gate, Lin Changshun, who was sitting in the front of the carriage, saw Lu Yanzhou standing in front waiting for them, and his eyes immediately lit up.

When Lin Yunchu heard Lu Yanzhou's name, he tightened his grip before he could say anything.

Uncle Li had already driven the carriage to the side and stopped. When Lin Changshun saw Lu Yanzhou waiting there, he was already a little excited.

After the carriage stopped, he jumped off and walked quickly towards Lu Yanzhou.

"Yanzhou, why are you here!"

Lin Changshun was just thinking about how they would find people when they arrived in Kyoto. Although Lu Yanzhou had written the address in the letter to the Lin family before, they had just arrived and were unfamiliar with the place.

"Changshun!"

Having not seen the Lin family for a long time, Lu Yanzhou suppressed his excitement and walked up to Lin Changshun and started talking.

"I received your letter a few days ago, and as soon as I finished my work, I came here to wait for you. I was afraid I might miss you by accident."

Lin Changshun hadn't seen Lu Yanzhou for a long time. He could also feel the excitement in Lu Yanzhou's heart. He had never seen Lu Yanzhou speak such a long string of words at once.

Hearing the two people talking outside, Lin Yunchu pulled open the curtain and met Lu Yanzhou's eyes as he looked at her.

She couldn't help but look dazed, and for a moment she forgot to withdraw her hand. She moved her mouth but in the end said nothing.

Lu Yanzhou looked up and met the eyes he had been thinking about day and night. At this moment, he felt like the morning mist slowly spreading in the morning, which gradually became clearer.

His heart felt like a dead tree coming back to life with spring, and a hint of joy appeared in his eyes, as warm as the sun in winter.

Because the window paper in the middle was not broken, the thoughts in the eyes of the two people gradually became complicated. They wanted to say something but didn't know how to start.

"Yanzhou, come up quickly. I'm tired from traveling these days. Let's go back and have a good rest."

It was too late for Lin Yunchu to step forward and stop Lin Changshun. She couldn't help but hold her forehead slightly. Why was her second brother so honest and told everything?
